Both cars are based on the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera. The Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo is the only single-brand racing series in the world that features all-wheel-drive racecars. The Squadra Corse name comes from the new department at Lamborghini Automobili now in charge of all motorsports activities.

The street-legal Gallardo LP 570-4 Squadra Corse shares components with the Super Trofeo, including the 570-horsepower V10, carbon-fiber rear wing and removable engine hood. The engine is linked to a standard automated-manual e-gear six-speed transmission shifted via steering-wheel paddles. Thanks to a variety of weight-saving measures, the newest Lamborghini screams from zero to 62 mph in 3.4 seconds. Exterior cues that underscore the car’s racing heritage include a decal strip in green, white and red: the colors of the Italian flag. In the cabin, the door panels, racing seats and center console cover are made from carbon fiber.
